SECRETARY MANNING
Is Really n Very Riok Man and
iIust TaRe Rest.

WASHINGTON, March 12--Secre-
tary Manning left the Treasury De-
partment for good this afternoon.
He goes to New York tomorrow, and
sails for Europe on Tuesday. | am
not violating any confidence when |
tell the true reason for Manning's
trip TO Europe. When it was stated
that he would make foreign trip
before taking cl&ge of the new
bank in New York, it was vehe-
mently denied by Mr. Manning. Tive
weeks ago he went 10 New York. Mr..
Hyde, of the Equitable Life In5ur-
ance Company, aud another well
known capitalist, and Mr.. Hyde's
partner in projecting and starting
the new bank, said at tn y interview
what has been stated 80 often from
this city, that Mr.. Manning was
sick man. They did not say anything,
but within the next few days they
sold out all their stock in the new
bank at 10 per cent. above
par. The reason they gave
was that Mr.. Manning was
not a proper man, in his present
physical condition, to be at the head
Of so large a concern. TIE other
stockholders and directors, when
they heard of the two leaders action,
grew alarmed, and then they decided
that Mr.. Manning should take a trip
abroad. Everything was arranged
for him; even Mr.. Jordan was to 80
along to see that he kept well. This,
too, is great change in plans, Tor
Dir. Jordan did not intend to leave
the Treasurers Office until late in
April. The hope of Mr.. Manning's
absence from the United States aud
Mr. Jordan's constant attendance
was what kept the directors Of the
new bank together. 1t was a bad
blow to the directors 10 6nd Mr..
Manning SO i'll, because they had
hoped his name and services would
be of financial aid to them, and they
think now the best thing is for him
to take long vacation.

In TIL e LANE.

And at thou, then, my heart, too old
Ever to leap with love again;
To feel the strong BLOOD torrent rolled
THROUGH heaving breast an teeming brain
Is it no more, my heart for thee
Life 5 one unquestioned ecstatyr
Are faded quite those din, far days
When mus smothered every sound;
When up and down YOUTHS happy ways
Fsred glOries Oh eternal rOund2
Has chill of years killed every round
That blOssomed for the wandering boyp
These are the trees once known so well
We felt to them all but bekuOWn;
Their very shadow we cOu tell
From hers by the forest THROWN
The same glad songs from bush and bOugh
As once we he ard we hear them now.
And those sweet flowers beneath my feet,
Their young eyes greet US Hs of yOre;
The hops, there Still they tn nix to meet
Her glance That shall not answer more.
To US alone IL cannot be,
They're looking up 20 tenderly.
This is the same gray path we took
Behind the slowly going day;
As they do now, the L light leaves shook
When evening breezes blew this way;
And there's the glow upoD the dome,
And there the cows are com ng home.
All, no. good heart, thou still canst stir;
Still lives the love 6 st bid thee leap;
Still are we at tbe side Of her
They laid away meath onder steep.
Thouah clOds be on her and a stone,
In the dear old lane we're not alone.

Reecher and the lows.

Americ1n Imdelik: In the death of
Henry Ward Beecher the coun-
try has sustained a national loss,
which will be most keenly felt by
the liberals of all denominations.
By none will he be more sincerely
mourned than by the Jews of this
country. He was their friend and
the defender OF their good name
when both was far rarer aud more
needed than now. In his just esti-
nation of their worth as class, and
in his kindly feelings towards them
as individuals, he never varied. His
truth and justice, his friendship and
fidelity were ever q rock that storms
could not move nor sunshine melt.
There are a few men to whom it is
given to take 20 active a part in the
affairs of men for so long a time, and
yet to go to his grave with scarce
an enemy aud universally lamented.
He has made his impress upon the
century, and will not be forgotten
while history lasts.

WASHINGTON, March II. The
home OF Lieutenant General Sheri-

10 call him, Little Phil, is one OF
the most delightful aud charming in
the city. 1t is large new brick
structure, situated on Sixteenth

more or less pretentious residences
of a score of distinguished politicians
and statesmen of national reputation.
Within a stones throw is the
splendid mansion of Alexander Ora

further down the street is the house
Of Perry Belmont, and the modest
residence of Secretary Endicott is
within ca'liog distance; Senators
Vance and Randall Lee Gibson live
across the way, and the palatial home
Of ex-Secretary Robson is just
around the square. The home Of
Sheridan is quite large, and what is
more noticeable it is surrounded by
a beautiful lawn sloping gently to
the terrace, which rises rather
abruptly from the street. The
high brick walls and prominent
porches of the house are greatly

THE RAILROAD DEAL.
PRESIDENT GARRETT HAS THE MAT
TER ARRANGED
"A Syndicate of Railway Managers and
Bankers Formed-The Baltimore and
Ohioto be ut the Head of the system
No Telegraph Monopoly.

PHILADELPHIA, March lG.-The I,edoar
to morrow will say: In reference to tho
matter of the sale of the majority of tbe
common stock of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad which carries with it the control
of that company, we are informed by an.
thority direct from President Robert Gar
rett that in the proposed sales the inter.
ests of Baltimore and the maintenance
OF the trade Of that city are to be
fully cared for by placing the Balti
more and Ohio railroad at the head of the
new railway combination, which Will en-
large and improve the Southern and
Western trade connections of that city
and also to that extent aid in improving
the commercial relations of Phladelphia.
While the original arrangement by which
Alfred Sully might have had the control
of the new combination was not carried
out, Mr.. Garrett has at present another
arrangement satisfactory to himself. with
a syndicate of railway managers
ana bankers who have already fixed
upon the price to be paid for the
stock ami the terms of payment, but Ger
tam details are yet to be arranged which
VIII fully protect the shareholders of the
railway and also secure an outlet by an in
dependent and untrammeled line through
to New YORK.
IN the new arrangement the Baltomore
ana ohio raj roads, so far from having its
identity sunk, Will be at the head OF the
combination with Garrett as the
executive chief of the organization.
IL Is assured that the telegraph lines are
not TO be permitted TO pass under the con
troll OF Jay Gould in any other form, and
under no circumstances will this be per
mltted. At the same time the indepep-
dent telegraph system which will be main
tanned Will have accessions by arrange
ments with other independent lines that

Under the Royal Carriage, but 1t
rallied to Explode.

LONDON, March 15.-The Russian EN-
bassy in London has received dispatches
confirming the reports of n discovery of u
plot to assassnate the car and the arrest
of the ring leaders. Those dispatches say
no actual attempt was made to kill the
czar, as the plot had been discovered be-
fore he left the palace. The British gov
eminent has received dispatches to the
same effect from Sir X ID Morier, British
ambassador at st. Petersburg.
A despatch from st. Petersburg to the
Daily News says: While the car was re-
! turning from requiem services in the
cathedral of st. Peter and st. Paul n
bomb attached to II cord was thrown in
his direction. The intention was to
tighten the string which was connected
with the mechanism and thus explode the
bomb, but before it could be executed he
criminal and his suspected accOmpl ces
were seized. 1t was found that they lived
together in lodging house in the suburbs
of the city. The police visited this house
and discovered quantity of explosives
and number of revolutionary pamphlets.
Over 200 persons have already been arrest
ed in connection with the aft Iir and domi-
clliary visits are bein made throughout
the city. The German police had warned
| the Russian authorities that an attempt
WAS TO be made against the czar's life, but
|
A telegram from Vienna confirms the
News despatch and says that the bomb
was thrown under the cars carriage and
that it was shaped like a book so that it
could be carried in the hand without eX-
citing suspicion.
A despatch from st. Petersburg to the
Standard says that one of the six students
arrested and connected with the dynamite
plot carried IA hollow book containing a
bottle filed with dynamite and poisoned
bullets. Others had parcels and bags con
tanning bombs. The despatch also says it
is alleged that woman was arrested with
a bomb concealed In her mufi.
ST PETERSBURG, March 10 1t is semi.
officially stated that Sunday the police
were informed that an attempt might he
made on the life OF the car that dav, ii
| being the anniversary of the assassination
of his father, and that as Il result the pO-

against the life of the car last sunday.
The paper adds that as the car was pass

been more defective parts in the bridge if
it was to stand up At All.
The parts which first broke were the
two hangers which carried the last or
most easterly pair of floor beams of the
northerly or the last built truss-the truss
which carried all the load. SO far as can he
judged from outside appearances theyare
made of far from good iron to begin with,
but in addition to that they are of very
bad design and most imperfectly welded
In addition to that again they are both of
them very badly flawed by old and deeply
rusted breaks at the most strained section,
there being two distinct breaks of this
kind to each specimen. The first hanger
has both breaks across the weld, the first
break being complete and the second
break an inch and an eighth above 1t, all
but complete the metal merely hanging
together by the outside skin. This hanger
can never have done any work since its
original and now ancient fracture or it
would have broken apart long since. The
second hanger was checked across half of
its inside face covered by supposed
weld for about half its depth of the eflec-
tive section, and tins was clearly where
the fracture first began. 1t caused a sec
ondarv fracture at the second old break in
the hook of the welded end which cut off
a somewhat larger proportion of the eifec-
tive strength of the iron.
All this is clearly shown in the en-
cravings of the bridge and its broken
parts which appear in this issue and the
general judgment of engineers will bear
us out in saying that more Shamefully
bad specimens OF bridge design in metal
and workmanship can hardly exist. We
regret to have to express so sweeping a
condemnation of the structure, but the
facts more than justify it, and it is but
right that in an occurrence OF this KIND
the truth should be pointed out and made
clear without fear or favor. 1t is appalling
to think of the tens of thousands of lives
which have literally hung by thread in
passing over this bridge during the past
eleven years.

Golden Wedding Anniversary.

To the Editor OF the Free Fress:
The 9th of March marked half century
of the welded life of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Bcknell of Jericho. 1t not only marked
80 years of wedlock but 30 years of united
service for their Master. All these years
their christian experience had been even
and unwaverng. Though they had seen
much OF the toll and sorrows of life they
had enjoyed many of its blessings and
had years ago seen all of their children
five in number, profess their love for
Christ. And as their two deceased daugh-
ters, Mrs. James \. Graves and Mrs.
Fred a. Fuller, testified with their last
words of the wOndrous love of Jesus
and AS they see two of their sons eudeav-
oring to proclaim the Gospel of Christ to
the world, had they not in Il large degree
fulfilled some of the requirements of
Gods word Could anything but feelings
of rejoicing fill the hearts of relatives and
friends as they assembled at the resi-
dence of their son, Mr.. George c. Blcknell
of Jericho, which has for many years been
the home of my parents and see the look
of surprise and pleasure upon the faces of
the aged couple
The exercises all passed off pleasantly.
Upwards of $40 worth of presents were
made, all of a nature that will add to the
comfort and pleasure of their declining
years The expression of all present seem
lngly was that many years be spared them
to enjoy the tokens of love bestowed.
Among those present We're Mr. Albert
Partridge and wife, Mr.. Lester WhittOu

ton and wife of Essex, Mr.. Rollin Town
